Ah..  OK,  offline via QWK/BW = user on BBS, .: BBS is the MSGID creator.   
I can accept that.

Then, it looks like the better approach would be to try and use SemPoint  
as a point.

Well.. BW support varies from system to system:

 [1] the PCBWave door is stripping everything out. 

 [2] the bluewave option in BBBS can enable kludges by request.

 [3] the bluewave support on Concord leaves everything alone. 

 [4] the bluewave system in Magicka munges the dates. ("/>


This generally concludes my foray exploring BW as an option in SemPoint.

Thanks EVERYONE!
